Sully's adventures at Burt's Pumpkin Farm!

Hello! Last Friday, Catey and I took Sully and Malley up to North Ga to Burt's Pumpkin Farm. Sully has been to a few small pumpkin farms this season, but this is our favorite and the same place Sully went last year when we took pictures with the huge pumpkins! The pumpkins are still HUGE, but Sully is not as small so he didn't look as lost in them all as he did last year. He is growing so fast! Sully and Malley had a fabulous morning--we pushed them in a wheelbarrow, they explored all around the big pumpkins, we went for a super fun hayride all through the farm, and we stopped for lunch and icecream on our way home. It was such a fun day! Here are some pictures to enjoy...

The Love Birds!

Boo!

Hayride!

Sully was getting a little crazy with the hay!

We stopped for lunch on the way home and then let Malley and Sully eat some icecream in the car on the way home so they wouldn't fall asleep and still take a good nap at home---they thought that was so fun!

Big Bite!

While we were waiting for Catey and Malley to pick us up that morning, I snapped a few pictures of Sully goofing around on the front porch.

Goofy Sully!

Sully moved into his new room and has been sleeping in his big boy bed for over a week now! He loves his new room and is very proud to be an official "big boy!" He has not ever tried to get out and sleeps just as well in his new room--in fact, he has been taking longer naps since the switch--Mommy loves that! :) We snapped a sweet picture of Sully on his first night in his new bed.

Sully is so proud of himself!

Have a wonderful weekend! We will be up in the North Carolina mountains with some friends enjoying the beautiful fall weather and taking advantage of a Sully-free weekend! We only have a few more weekends left before we have 2 little Palmers around here! We will also be cheering for those mighty Wildcats of Kentucky on Saturday afternoon! GO CATS!

Yeah for Fall!

Hey everyone! Happy Fall and yeah for nicer weather! Sully has been quite busy over the past few weeks enjoying the outdoors and all the festivities that October and the fall brings! We have been to the zoo, some fun fall festivals, a fun pumpkin patch, and a birthday party at the park! Sully loved going to the zoo last week and still talks about how he touched a goat, heard elephants singing, and saw an alligator! I have taken a lot of pictures of Sully over the past few weeks--none of which he really looked at the camera and smiled, but it gives you an idea of just how busy a Sully has been! The days of Sully sitting still for a nice picture are over for now--maybe he will be better when he gets a bit older---right now he has too much business to take care of! :) Enjoy the pictures!

Trip to Zoo Atlanta--September 27th

Sully turned into a gorilla! :)

Last time we were at the zoo, Sully was scared to sit on the gorillas...not this time! :)

Sully and his buddies at the zoo!

Visit to Kinsey Family Farm--October 4th

Sully is not the only one who won't look at the camera for a good picture! haha We were all calling out names like crazy moms---couldn't really get a great picture of Sully's buddies with the pumpkins, but you get the idea. :)

Malley and Sully!

Jack, Sully, and Sophie on the hayride! Halfway through the hayride, we stopped and walked to a neat little pond where the kids got to feed some huge catfish! Sully still talks about it! He loved throwing that food and watching the fish jump around! The catfish were really big so Sully and his buddies got some really good looks at some really ugly fish! :)

Yummy!

Alpharetta Scarecrow Festival--October 6th

Arts and crafts time at the festival!

Daddy and Sully were very busy!

There was a neat, little area where kids could draw with sidewalk chalk. Sully was busy creating a masterpiece!

We tried to get Sully to pose for a cute picture--this was the best we could do! :)

Face Painting Time!

Sully loved getting his face painted! He sat very still and waited patiently while the "scarecrow" painted a monkey on the side of his sweet, little cheek! Sully was very proud of his monkey when she was finished!

Sitting very still!

Almost finished...

This weekend, Brett painted Sully's new room and we will be moving Sully in this week! Yeah for a big boy bed! We have talked to Sully a lot about his new room and having a bed instead of a crib--he seems really excited, so we will have to see how it goes this week! Then, we will have the nursery to prepare for Sully's new sister--I start month 7 this week, so only about 10-12 more weeks to go! Time is flying! Have a great week!

Sully and Malley's finger painting extravaganza!

Hey everyone! We have been enjoying the cooler temps down here and the chance to be back outside! With the weather so hot in August, we weren't able to play outside much, so it is nice to be back outside at the park and playing in the yard! Sully and Malley took advantage of a beautiful afternoon last week with some finger paints! It was so fun and they painted both on the paper and on each other---they had a blast! Enjoy the pictures!

They were both SO proud of their masterpiece! Sully painting Malley...

and Malley painting Sully!

Sully as a work of art! :)

Say "Cheese!"

Sully loves to play with Malley's pretend snake. Funny thing about it--he was terrified of it for the longest time and would actually shiver when you would get it close to him. Malley used to chase him with it to try and scare him--guess he has decided that it isn't so scary anymore! I just hope he doesn't ever pick up a real snake and chase me with it one day! haha :)

Sully is doing so well! He is talking so much and learning new words all the time. He is starting to count to ten and has pretty much mastered his basic colors. We work on them all the time! He absolutely loves school and knows where he is going when we turn down the street of his school. He is always happy to go and always so happy to see me when I pick him up, so it is such a great thing! They do a lot of storytime, crafts, painting, and music. His teacher said that he is a very sweet boy and is always happy doing whatever it is they are doing, so she says he is a very well adjusted kid. Yeah for that! Lately, we have been busy going to the park, the library for storytime, and, of course playing outside with his toys and the dogs--Sully loves to play outside. Tomorrow we are going to Zoo Atlanta with his buddies, so I am sure we will have more fun pictures to share!

Sully and some buddies at the park last week.

Have a great week!

Sully Update!

Hello from Hot Lanta! We have been pretty busy lately and Sully has been on many fun adventures over the past month. Sorry for the long break between blog entries. Sully is very proud to be a 2 year old--he loves to tell everyone that he is 2! He is talking a lot more now and learning new words everyday--he knows what he wants and does not hold back telling us what that is! hahaha! He started a little preschool class two mornings a week--Sully LOVES it and his teacher says that he is a very good boy! I have taken a few pictures of Sully over the past month--enjoy!

Sully at Fernbank Museum in Atlanta...

I took Sully downtown to see a snakes and lizards exhibit at the museum--he saw a ton of snakes and lizards, but the highlight was when Sully touched a red milk snake--Sully talked about that for days--he LOVED it, even though he shivered for a second after he touched the snake! So funny!

Big Lizard! When you walk in the museum, there is a huge life-sized T-Rex in the lobby--Sully didn't even really know what he was looking at because it was SO big!

For playgroup one day we all went back to the Children's Museum downtown--it is funny how Sully changes each time we go--we have been three times now--he was interested in totally different things this time and was able to do a lot more and interact a lot more with some of the activities--but his favorite was still the painting station--check out his masterpiece! :)

Sully's finished masterpiece!

Spaghetti Night!

It was straight to the tub!

Sully loves riding his tricycle! Grancie and Gramps bought him a helmet and pad set to go with his new bike they bought him for his birthday--he insists on wearing all the gear--it is hilarious! He loves the gear because it has all the Sesame Street characters!

Beep, Beep! Here comes Sully!

Sully loves to visit the firestation! He has gone a few times now and he just thinks the firetrucks are the coolest things! On this day, he was able to see a fireman all dressed up in his gear--a lot of other kids were scared of him, but Sully thought it was cool and went right up the fireman and said, "Hi!"

Future Firefighter?

Last Wednesday was Sully's first day of school! Sully was so excited and had a great first week. He goes to school Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9:30-1:00! I have to pack him a lunch and Sully proudly walks into school holding his lunchbox! So cute! His school prefers tote bags instead of backpacks, so he still struggles keeping his bag on his shoulder with all of his things inside! He will surely grow into the bag by the end of the year!

Ready to go!

This past weekend, Brett and I took a little getaway to NYC to see a few days of the US Open tennis tournament and to visit with Kelli and Doug! Sully had a great time with Grancie and Gramps, and Brett and I enjoyed 4 days Sully-free catching up with friends and enjoying some great tennis! One night we got a great view of the city from the Open--enjoy the picture!

What a perfect sunset!

BABY P Update!

For those of you who haven't already heard, Sully is going to have a little sister to romp around with in January! We went for our ultrasound a few weeks ago and decided at the last minute to find out the sex of the baby--Baby P is a girl! What a great, little family we will have! January 5th is still the due date, so we are getting more and more excited as the weeks pass! Only a few more months left to go!

Hope you enjoyed all the pictures--we will try to update more often! Have a great week!
